Deeply influenced by Classical Chinese poetry, as well as the interplay between philosophy and science, Sze’s luminous verse is attuned to the minutiae of our natural world and our place within it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume brings together ten collections across Sze’s career, including \u003ci\u003eCompass Rose \u003c\/i\u003e(shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize) and \u003ci\u003eSight Lines \u003c\/i\u003e(winner of the National Book Award), as well as twenty-six new poems. Moving from the quark to the jaguar, the sunflower to the Molotov cocktail, Sze’s vertiginous poems transform our atomised world through a restless, cinematic eye into an exploded network of surprising connections. These works harness the simple building blocks of language to construct rich poems that dazzle, like jewels in a chandelier, with a profound resonance and an irrepressible light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Glass Constellation\u003c\/i\u003e is a singular invitation for readers to immerse themselves in a visionary body of work, mapping the evolution of one of our finest and most inimitable American poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57785009668470,"sku":"9781837312221","price":12.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_41360976.jpg?v=1779329726","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781837312221-the-glass-constellation","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
